Thousands of retired Massachusetts teachers are now impacted by the Social Security Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) law. Also known as the “double dipping” law, more than 70,000 retired public employees lose an average of $400 a month in their Social Security benefits due to the WEP.

To us, there is no such thing as “double dipping”! Retired teachers, who paid into Social Security and earned 40 or more quarters, deserve to receive the benefit you earned.

We are now working directly with MA Congressman Richard Neal, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, as he develops a proposal to reform WEP. This new approach would provide relief for current retirees who have already been harmed by the WEP, as well as create a new fairer Social Security formula for future retirees.
All nine Massachusetts Congressmen and our two U.S. Senators support WEP reform.
Mass Retirees fights to ensure that all retired teachers are treated fairly. You should receive the Social Security benefit that you earned!
